I can't and won't become a hermit. My sister hasn't been up to London for years and yesterday she had an appointment there. In the morning she was in a cab crossing Westminster Bridge. She said had it not been for the rain she would have stayed for the afternoon and had a walk around the bridge. Thank goodness for the good old unpredictable British weather!

Was saturated with it yesterday and even during the night (I often wake up then and listen to Radio 5 while nursing a cuppa and even that was all about the attack. The media actually seem to be revelling in all that bad news). My youngest lad put a comment on his FB this morning about having to bring up a young family in today's rotten world and it made me worry for all our youngsters. I'll be sitting in that rocking chair for evermore, by all accounts. Can't stop thinking about that poor policeman who didn't make it home last night.Between Me and Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863155145862706966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-39623307054839491672017-03-23T17:22:25.093+00:002017-03-23T17:22:25.093+00:00I agree.

But those who live so close and those who WERE so close yesterday must surely be affected beyond their control. I watched a businessman who had been at the scene being interviewed on TV, and saw him go from complete self-control to tears in the space of a blink. For many people it will be more than a matter of spine stiffening. jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-63317005114910037342017-03-23T17:02:18.333+00:002017-03-23T17:02:18.333+00:00My mom has always said something similar with rega...My mom has always said something similar with regard to worry 'you can ride a rocking horse all night and it will get you nowhere'...what happened yesterday is sad and horrible but no-one can dodge their destiny and so we must all carry on.libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552884005601003691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-44656841639795831292017-03-23T16:34:55.895+00:002017-03-23T16:34:55.895+00:00I have been to that bridge so many times -- happy ...I have been to that bridge so many times -- happy times with friends and family visiting me in England come to see the sights.
